lyrics

How can I bleed if I'm already drained
Why should I cry if it's going to rain
Walking on eggshells seeing no end
Keep it all steady or the walls could fall in

It's a special kind of lonely

Nobody sleeps like the ill informed
The pillowed silence behind the closed door
Sucking on the poison and I'm sorry again
Somehow you are strong and a constant victim

It's a special kind of lonely
I'm sure you don't think about me
When I'm not around

Try to find a way to only speak truth
When you no longer care you've got nothing to lose
Walking on eggshells and seeing no end
Keep it all steady or the walls could fall in

It's a special kind of lonely
I'm sure you don't think about me
